There is just something very off talking about teir 2 epic dungeons in a Dungeons and Dragons game. Even Gods are not level 60.

Gold is used for kits and potions. Kits can make you AD if you use your professions. Potions are very necessary for just about all aspects of play. If you run into an excess of gold, others are trading keys for gold which can easily be converted to diamonds or other.
A rough conversion to keep in mind is 1g = 1370AD.

What's funny is how counter-intuitive that is in regards to D&D lore. In the tabletop game's version of the economy, one astral diamond is worth 10,000 gold or 100 platinum. It definitely feels like the numbers for AD and gold are backwards in this game.
So I'm in the middle of writing up my review of the game. And I've gone over this point enough times its still bugs me enough to make a post about it.
Gold has no value or point in the game. And I hate to break it to anyone who thinks otherwise, but find me a vender that sells teir 2 60 gear for gold.
Here is what gets me most. Everything of value is transferred in Astro Diamonds. You convert Zen into Astro Diamonds and visa versa. You buy gear with Astro Diamonds. Hell even the Auction house uses Astro Diamonds...
You know most people generally use the auction house as the basis of what the games main currency is. So excuse me for thinking gold is pointless when you can't even use it in the Auction house.
Who's idea was this? Was it Cryptics? Was it Perfect worlds when they took over Cryptic? (This is my favorite assumption)
OH but WAIT! You can buy a +50% speed mount for 5 gold. WOOHOO!.... . . . yay... um... yea.
You know what, give me an option to convert gold into Astro diamonds too. Just give it a reason to exist. Thats all I ask.
Lol if this is anything to go by your review is going to be horrible and full of experienced game-play.

Hope you don't need too many kits! I've only needed 3 or 4 from 1-22.
Love using the professional kits though. Hope I end up using all these crafting material somebody!
Loki < The Illuminati > 60 - Control Wizard
Protocol 60 - Great Weapon Fighter
Once you hit t2 epic dungeons you need lots of potions and lots of major injury kits
Yep, especially with pugs, if you get a few bad groups you can be down 5-10 gold real quick.

NWO lv60 =/= tabletop D&D lv60
Is it a review for your personal website?
